Pomegranate Place

Art work facilitated by Karen and Gary Scott

December 2012

The Pomegranate tree, depicted in the mural, reflects the history of growth of the Centre

and symbolises:

Fertility encouraging and nourishing creativity

Marriage commitment; the joining of ideas and cultures

Prosperity community enrichment through empowering participants

Safety a nurturing place to learn, meet and express

The Chocolate Lily, on the curved seat, was the native floral emblem of Waverley and is

also depicted in the stained glass windows at the Centre and planted around the seat.

The flowing water design represents both the Centre’s past as the Mt Waverley Reservoir

caretaker’s cottage and its future as the community’s wellspring for inspiration, knowledge

and achievement.

WCLC acknowledges the support of the Victorian Government.
